SSC MTS Cut Off 2024: State Wise Final Marks and How They Work

What the MTS cut off actually measures

MTS vacancies are allotted state by state, so there is no single all India line. The Commission ranks candidates within each state or union territory, by category and by age group, and the cut off is simply the mark at which the final selected candidate in that row stopped.

Only Session II marks count for that rank. Session I (maths and reasoning) is a pass or fail hurdle, and if you fall short there, your Session II sheet is not even evaluated. Once you are through, your General Awareness and English score out of 150 decides where you stand.

Havaldar posts in CBIC and CBN follow a separate list by zone (CCA), and those candidates must also pass the PET and PST.

SSC MTS cut off 2024 for MTS (18 to 25 years)

Two patterns stand out. Bihar, with only a few dozen posts, had the highest lines, while Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, with hundreds of posts each, closed lower. Fewer seats against a large applicant pool pushes the cut off up. The 18 to 27 group, ESM and PwBD lines are in Annexure I of the official result notice.

Havaldar cut off 2024 by zone

Category lines for OBC, EWS, SC and ST in each zone are in Annexure II. Zones with a handful of seats, such as Pune and Visakhapatnam, closed above 136.

Qualifying floor versus selection line

The notice fixes a floor in each session, a percentage that drops from UR to OBC and EWS to the remaining groups. In Session II that floor works out to 45, 37.5 and 30 marks out of 150. Reaching the floor only keeps your sheet in the merit list. In the 2024 result, no major state closed anywhere near it.

People often search for the ssc mts paper 1 cut off or ssc mts cut off tier 1. The exam no longer has tiers or papers; it has two sessions of one CBT. The nearest thing to a paper 1 cut off is the Session I qualifying percentage, which is the same for everyone in a category.

Reading the previous year cut off for your own plan

A ssc mts previous year cut off is most useful as a target band. If your state closed at 131 for UR, aim for 135 or more in mocks, because the next cycle can move a few marks either way.

Also check which age group fits you. If you are eligible for both, the 2024 result considered you first in the 18 to 25 group.

What moves the cut off next time

• Vacancies in your state: the single biggest factor, and they vary hugely between cycles.
• Number of candidates: states with many applicants and few seats see the highest lines.
• Difficulty and normalisation: Session II runs in many shifts, and scores are normalised before ranking.
• Negative marking: 1 mark lost per wrong answer in Session II keeps careless attempts in check.
• Tie breaking: equal scores are split first by General Awareness marks, then Session I total, then age.

Practising real shifts on the SSC MTS previous papers page is the best way to see how far your Session II score is from these lines.

Use the SSC MTS syllabus page to plan around Session II subjects, and compare this exam with other matric level options on the SSC GD cut off page.
